It's really hard for us to say no to a confetti cannon. They're so loud and unexpected! And make our messy Tiny Desk even messier! When used correctly, it adds an exclamation point to just the right note; rest assured, Illuminati Hotties punctuates this Tiny Desk with a burst of color… and, yes, an actual confetti cannon.

Beth Gibbons' voice can cleave your heart in half and heal it back together. Whether fronting Portishead, singing Henryk Górecki's Symphony of Sorrowful Songs or guesting on a Kendrick Lamar track, Gibbons' frail, yet resilient timbre acts as reassurance that our aching world is worth loving and fighting for. To experience that voice is humbling; up close, it's breathtaking. This set at the Tiny Desk is mostly culled from Lives Outgrown, her densely layered and lived-in album released last year.
